Datamining What are your thoughts on aliens?

[Slvt4BIBISI]

If you want to see aliens in your lifetime these are the only real options (((unless they’re already here))).

I believe 80% of the stars in the Milky Way are red dwarfs, yes? Almost all of those are flare stars too. The only decent stars for life are K, G, and maybe F-class ones.

I've heard 70% but it doesn't really change the fact that sun type stars are rare. Compounding on this is how rare are sun type stars even in the category, because Keplar telescope was supposed to be looking for earth like planets around sun like stars but found that most sun like stars have way more noise than our sun. Our sun was assumed to be the norm but it turned out that it's extremely exceptional so 0 earth like planets were found during the 5 or whatever years it was operational.

They don’t really care if we understand them or not I’m sure another sentient species would help and try to find some medium.

I am pretty sure they would love to ask us to stop hunting them o algo.

Some things are universal, I think the Pioneer probes had diagrams of hydrogen atoms on them because you really can't boil something down more than that.

They would get that we understand physics on a high school level at best, like what if they went straight to quantum mechanics without our attempts to understand the atom with classical physics though? That hydrogen atom would make no sense to them. Communication is difficult and if it takes hundred+ of years to get an answer, it just makes it that much more difficult.

I think our sun being rare works in our benefit due to another more advanced species wanting to check on systems as stable as ours.

Making an alien right now

There is also the possibility that space travel is very hard if not impossible and ultimately not worth it, even with unmanned probes.

 

[Slvt4BIBISI]

Another solution is life needs an incredibly rare star like ours, needs a moon like ours, as stable as a system as ours, a jupiter, a system with the similar atomic composition, and some luck that it has a billion years to be undisturbed. Just making life stupidly uncommon.

with how big the universe is i'd say maybe but the chances of a singular protein forming naturally is 1 in 10^74

I like to think that idea too but if you asked someone 200 years ago if you could send information to the other side of the globe instantly they’d say no. You’d think the same applies to this.

Bro what if we found silicon-based LIFE on a planet with no magnetosphere orbiting 0.6 AU away from an O-class star bro and they sent us BBC keptsecret sprunki hitler gooning videos from Andromeda using the XXX-ray spectrum bro

I think the issue is that large probes are unrealistic to be propelled to relativistic speeds and small probes will just get worn down by the interstellar dust before they reach the destination. But you're right, it might just be a tech issue.

Only thing I can think of would be shit like negative matter to cheat your way past light speed or make a wormhole on your probe and leave one side in orbit so you can just manually maintain it from home.

I think FTL breaks causality so it's very likely impossible.

Space niggers.
Also, I saw a UFO (glownigger psyop directly over my house, I was looking up and directly in the center of it)

How would you communicate with them at all unless they are very similar to us?

minerals, ores, oil, these are all universal natural resources on every planet, perhaps we could develop a system with them and say “oil good” “diamond means war”

 

[FartmingerFuckwadCheeseSte]

Aliens aren't real

Imagine being the first human to fuck an alien. You'd go down in the history books.

what if the aliens contact us and the first thing they get back is PornDude-BLACKED.COM_JAPANESE_JOURNALIST_VS_BIGGEST_BBC_EVER.4K_x264.mkv
